Congratulations to Anthony on taking first place in our annual competition league for the second successive year.  Just as happened last year, the top of the league was very close going into the final round with Anthony leading Paul Scott by one point.  However, in the final round Anthony inched ahead and finished with 152 points compared to Paul’s 150 points.  

In our league table for the season, the lowest scoring round for each individual is dropped from the overall score.  Whilst most entrants have one low scoring round during the season, Anthony has scored 37 or more in every round.  This is fantastic consistency.

This year’s top four are exactly the same as last year’s and in the same order – Anthony (152), Paul (150), Dave Boam (147) and Conor (144).  It’s worth noting, though, that Malcolm Brunt, Irene Lea and Keith Parker have all improved significantly over last season.

We held our third internal competition of the season on Monday.  This was a DPI-only competition on the theme of ‘Architecture’.  Thanks to all who entered images.  We had 56 entries from 19 entrants in total.

The competition was internally judged with Ian Morison and Howard Self being the judges.  Both had clearly done additional research which added to their critique.  Thank you to both of them for their comments and scoring.

Congratulations go to Conor Molloy and Malcolm Brunt who each had an image which scored 20 points.
